1.0 Description
Wireless Radio Transmitters (commonly known as “clickers”) and Long Range Receivers with integrated
antenna form Farpointe Data’s ultra-high frequency, long-range identification solution known as Ranger.
Intended for security access control applications, Ranger’s wireless communications are based upon a
secure, digital, anti-playback routine1.
Ranger Transmitters feature one or four-buttons, each corresponding to its own Wiegand output on the
Ranger Receiver. Each Transmitter includes an integrated red LED, used to indicate positive button press as
well as battery strength. They are also equipped standard with a proximity module for use with
Farpointe’s
Pyramid Series
Proximity™ readers. This allows the Transmitter to be used as a close-range prox-
imity access credential2.
2.0 Transmitter Layout
1. Eliminates the risk of code sniffing and unauthorized duplication. As such, the Transmitter must be clicked twice to be
learned by the Receiver upon initial Receiver power up.
2. Formatting of the proximity module matches that of the Transmitter.

3.0 Output Formats
Transmitters are sequentially coded in either the industry standard 26-bit Wiegand format or custom Wie-
gand formats, with exact number sequences. As a cross reference the Transmitters’ internal ID number is
printed on the ID label found on the back of the Transmitter.
Specific coding details, including format, facility code, and ID range can be found on the Transmitter ship-
ping box, as well as the shipment’s packing list.
4.0 Battery Replacement
Transmitters include a replaceable CR2032, 3 Volt lithium battery1. The battery should be replaced when a
button press does not result in a flash of the LED, reliable read range, and/or an output from the Receiver. To
replace the battery, follow the directions below:
1. Unsnap the back of the case using a small coin.
2. Remove the old battery.2
3. Insert the new CR2032 3 Volt lithium battery. Be sure the plus (+) side of the battery is oriented accord-
ing to marking inside of unit.
4. Replace the back of the case, snapping it back into place.
5.0 Range3
Maximum read range between the Transmitter and Receiver is up to 150-feet (45.7 m).4

1. The CR2032 3 Volt lithium battery was specifically selected for use with the Ranger Transmitter. When placing, only use
this type of battery. It supports a relatively high current drain when used on an intermittent basis, such as when a button
is pressed. This alkaline battery is widely available, and commonly used in electronic devices, including cameras.
2. Dispose of the battery according to local requirements. Recycle when possible.
3. For best performance it is important that the Transmitter be used as far from interference sources as possible. These
sources may include, but are not limited to, large metal obstructions, such as duct work and appliances, as well as mag-
netic fields and radio emissions.
4. The read range between the Transmitter and Receiver may be adjusted at the Receiver. As shipped, the Receiver is set for
the maximum read range. This may be reduced to a minimum of several feet by an adjustment on the Receiver.
